UC ANR academics from Region 4 in Southern California gathered in Riverside to exchange experiences and success stories.
In this special meetup, 40 UC ANR academics, spanning diverse fields from irrigation to nutrition, delved into crucial topics, including communication and social media strategies to enhance the impact of their work across California.
Glenda Humiston, Vice-President of UC ANR, emphasized the value of interacting in person to learn what colleagues are doing and to “cross-pollinate” by sharing ideas.
The Riverside meeting was the first of four regional meetings planned, where academics will convene with UC ANR leaders.
Region 3 – San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Mariposa, Mono, Inyo, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern counties and Kearney, West Side and Lindcove RECs – will meet May 30-31 at the UCCE San Joaquin County office in Stockton. Region 5 – Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties – will meet June 10-11 at the UC Santa Cruz Haybarn. The registration deadline is May 13, 2024 at 5 p.m.
